Pagan Methods Of Interpreting The Scriptures

By Abram Herbert Lewis

Book Overview

Pagan Methods of Interpreting the Scriptures is a book written by Abram Herbert Lewis, which explores how ancient pagan methods have influenced the interpretation of the Bible. The author argues that the Bible has been interpreted through the lens of pagan philosophy and mythology, leading to a distorted understanding of its true message. The book delves into various pagan methods of interpretation, such as allegory, symbolism, and numerology, and how they have been applied to the Bible. Lewis shows how these methods have been used to create false doctrines and beliefs, and how they have led to a departure from the original teachings of the Bible.The author also provides examples of how the Bible has been misinterpreted, such as the belief that the serpent in the Garden of Eden was Satan, or the idea that the book of Revelation is a prophecy of the end of the world. He argues that these interpretations are not supported by the text itself, but have been imposed upon it by pagan methods of interpretation.Overall, Pagan Methods of Interpreting the Scriptures is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to re-examine their understanding of the Bible and the methods used to interpret it. It is a must-read for anyone interested in biblical studies, theology, or the history of religion.THIS 46 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Paganism Surviving in Christianity, by Abram Herbert Lewis.
